Book excerpt: Global climate change is one of the most significant long-term policy challenges facing the U.S., and policies to mitigate climate change will have important economic, social, and environmental implications. This report examines the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions pricing on U.S. industries¿ internat. competitiveness and trade measures being considered as part of U.S. legislative proposals to address climate change. It examines: (1) what is known about estimating industry effects; (2) examples of industries that may be vulnerable to a loss in internat. competitiveness from emissions pricing; (3) trade measures and other approaches to address competitiveness issues; and (4) potential internat. implications of trade measures.
